The problem

Even with all the work-from-home efforts, a lot of employees choose to work from PTI's office.

Navigating inside it can be hard: in addition to the main multi-story building, it is comprised by multiple smaller buildings inside Itaipu's bi-national restricted area.

Even though there is an existing bike sharing platform operating, it's a fact that there is a share of employees that are not able to ride bikes.

How can we help solve this problem?

The solution

Considering the success of the bike sharing platform, members of our center suggested implementing an electric scooter sharing service. To make it happen, a small team comprised of hardware engineers and software developers was tasked with the development of this project.

My role

I've been working on this project since day one: benchmarking, wireframing, developing both the design language and brand assets, and designing the base main areas of the app.

Currently, I'm tasked with two main goals:

• Building new screens on top of the existing base, making sure all features, variants, and behaviors are correctly mapped and handed-off to developers;
• and developing a well-documented design system on top of the existing MUI library using modifications present on the assets created previously.

The identity

While not my area of expertise, I set out to develop a brand identity for the project so we could use internally during development.

For the name, I chose “Scooter” as to make it clear that it's something that will change in the future. The colors are based on the palette used by PTI on its brand guidelines, as it can be seen throughout their website. The icon was created using simple shapes to loosely resemble the different models we are using for testing. For the font, I chose something that could be readable in multiple sizes and colors.

The app

Our team is currently building the app using React.js + customized MUI assets for the front-end. The interface is built in a way that seems familiar and accessible for both Android and iOS users, applying interactive elements that are interoperable between both systems.
